 And suppose that the majority of PC users connected to the Internet stop
using TCP/IP and replace it with TCP/MS...

I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader as to just how fast users will
bail on Microsoft if they install TCP/MS and then find they can't reach AOL,
Google, Yahoo, or Amazon, or any Cisco-powered site.

Equally as critical - how fast the average IS director will ditch Microsoft
once he/she discovers that TCP/MS won't talk to the Oracle database on the
Solaris box...

If it interoperates with TCP/IP, it's not an issue for us.  And if it doesn't
interoperate, it will resolve itself due to market forces.

Not A Problem.
